There was a time when Hare didn't hop, until clever Tortoise challenged him to a race.

Stories telling how animals got their unique qualities. Hare was one of the speediest animals in Tinga Tinga and no-one would race him, until Tortoise arrived.

There was a time when Hare did not hop. He was one of the speediest animals in Tinga Tinga, but none of the other animals wanted to race with him because Hare always won and it was boring. Then, one day, slow-but-clever Tortoise decided to challenge Hare. At first Hare could not believe his luck, but then Tortoise won and he won and he won. When Hare realised it is not such fun being on the losing end, Tortoise let him hop past the finishing line in first place.
